James Cameron, the visionary filmmaker, made a rare appearance at the Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, where he engaged in a Q&A session following a screening of the extended version of his film The Abyss.During the discussion, Cameron empathized with the underwater film’s huge impact on his career, as well as the entire film industry. The director even claimed that the film started the revolution of extensively adapting computer-generated imagery in Hollywood. The Abyss was a pioneering project in Cameron’s illustrious career, pushing the boundaries of cinematic possibility. Beyond merely submerging a power plant and engineering the means for actors to perform underwater, the film introduced groundbreaking CGI, particularly in the creation of a ‘soft’ water-based character that was to interact with the cast.Cameron said, “The pseudopod scene is the moment that certainly caught people’s attention at the time. That scene made an impact and showed people what was possible, and I think it kicked in the door to the start of the CG explosion.” He also reflected on his writing process behind the vision. “I think I write myself into a corner, so I have to write something cool. It probably comes from an insecurity as a writer, as an actor’s director, that I have to do some big hat trick,” he said.RELATED: James Cameron Isn’t Worried About AI Replacing Writers
